CGA945 There Is a Time

This piece, using the well-known text from Ecclesiastes 3, opens with a quiet, reflective clarinet solo (piano optional). The choir joins in a soft, slow version of the melody that soon gives way to a lively 7/8 meter that supports a text celebrating joy, singing, and worshiping God. The anthem returns to the quiet, melancholy mood near the end of the work. It is the clarinet, however, that closes the piece with a shortened rendition of its opening material. Perfect for advanced children's choirs as well as two part women's choirs.
